FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
The Adistar Control 5 Trainers are designed primarily for lifestyle and casual wear, inspired by running silhouettes. While they offer comfort and stability for everyday activities, they are not engineered for performance running.
How do I determine my correct size?
Refer to the product's size chart for conversion between UK, EU, and US sizing. Ensure your heel is snug and there is adequate room in the toe box without being too loose.
Can I wear these in wet weather?
The open-mesh upper provides breathability but may not offer significant protection against heavy rain. They are best suited for dry or lightly damp conditions. Water may enter through the mesh in heavy rain.
What are the shoes made of?
The shoes feature a textile upper, a textile sockliner for comfort, and a rubber outsole for durability and grip. They also include metallic overlays for aesthetic detail.
How should I clean the metallic overlays?
Clean metallic overlays gently with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scrubbing, as this could scratch the finish.
What is the fit like?
The trainers have a regular fit, designed to be comfortable for most adult feet. The lace closure allows for adjustment to suit individual preferences.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or loose.
Adjust the lacing system. For a tighter fit, ensure laces are evenly distributed and pulled firmly. For a looser fit, ease the tension on the laces, particularly across the midfoot.
Slight discomfort during initial wear.
This is common with new footwear. Wear the shoes for short periods initially and gradually increase wear time to allow them to break in and conform to your foot shape.
Traction feels reduced on wet surfaces.
While the rubber outsole provides grip, performance on extremely wet surfaces may be reduced. Exercise caution in such conditions. Ensure the outsole is free from mud or debris which can impair grip.
